Winsor & Newton Galeria Filbert Brushes

Winsor & Newton Galeria Filbert Brush is an ideal choice for creating broad marks with soft edges. Designed with a long handle and a flat shape with a rounded tip, these brushes are a great option when painting with thick and full bodied paints.

The Winsor & Newton Galeria range of brushes is a popular brush choice due to its versatility. While it is best suited to acrylic painting, the brush is suitable for all paint types. The bristles are made from synthetic filaments making it a strong and resilient brush with excellent spring. The Galeria range is great for different styles & techniques of painting, with bristles that are stiffer than sable hair and softer than hog hair brushes.

Cleaning:

• Wipe the brush bristles clean.
• Rinse under running water.
• For cleaning water-based varnishes: Using mild soap and warm water, swirl the brush on your palm and rinse.
• For cleaning solvent-based varnishes: use an artist's white spirit or brush cleaner to thin down paint and lift it off the bristles, then rinse under water.
• Repeat until the waters run clear.
• For a thorough clean, soak the brush overnight in a brush cleaner, which will remove any dried acrylic colour.
• Note: Wash immediately after using, or leave to soak in water if this is not possible to prevent paint drying on to bristles.
